Original Title: The National Football Team Ends Hainan Training and Goes Home for the New Year, Chen Xuyuan Gives a 90-Minute Speech to Encourage the Team
Today (February 10), the Chinese team will leave the Haikou station, and the players will go home to celebrate the New Year. The next training session is scheduled to start in mid-to-late March.
When returning home from Haikou Airport, the national football coach Li Tie posted a family photo of the national football team on Weibo and wrote: “Thank you for the hard work of the team! Thank you for the hard work of all the players! Come on together in 2021! Happy New Year to all fans and friends in advance La! I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year! All the best!”
In this training session, the national football team conducted two warm-up matches, defeating China Fortune 5-1 and Changchun Yatai 2-0 respectively, and ended the Haikou training camp with two consecutive victories in the warm-up match, including Ike Seven players including Sen and Zhang Xizhe made consecutive starts and became Li Tie’s key training targets.
In the two games, with the exception of goalkeeper Yan Junling, Dong Chunyu and full-back Tomorrow, the rest of the players got the chance to play. From the perspective of investigating newcomers, Li Tie can be regarded as achieving the set goals. However, due to the personnel disorder caused by the epidemic and injuries, the Chinese team failed to determine the basic prototype of the strongest lineup in this training camp, and the two naturalized players Exon and Alan did not get too many opportunities to run in. This means that in the next training session, Li Tie will face even more daunting challenges than at present.
In addition to winning two victories this time, the Haikou National Football Team also gained spiritual encouragement: on February 8, the chairman of the Football Association Chen Xuyuan came to Haikou to visit the national football team and encouraged the team to go all out to play in the top 40. Chen Xuyuan also used a 90-minute unwritten speech to remind the national football team of four “keep in mind” and four “hopes.” He also exchanged views with the international players on the league’s salary limit, league plans, and training of retired players.
It is reported that the AFC is likely to announce this month’s World Cup qualifiers in the second half of the Asian region’s top 40 matches to a tournament system. At present, the Chinese Football Association is well prepared. Once the AFC announces that the top 40 matches will be changed to a tournament system, it will propose to bid for the remaining matches of Group A, and Shanghai may be the host city.
